Question 7 Listen A bacterial cell divides in the presence 32P, which is a radioactive isotope of phosphorous. This atom becomes part of the phosphate which is in DNA. After the first division, the bacteria is switched into a growth medium in which the phosphorous is not radioactive and is kept in this media for the rest of the experiment. The bacterial cell divides until there are 8 cells. How many of these cells will be radioactive? a) 0 b) 1 c) 2 d) 4 e) 8

Question #2 To isolate DNA from cells, you must disrupt the cell Therefore, you treated your cells with a lysis buffer that contains a detergent. You also heated the cells and vortexed them during this time. What chemical property does the detergent in the lysis buffer have that helps disrupt a cell membrane? Briefly explain your answer. How does vortexing and heating your samples aid in disrupting the membrane?

Question 1: tRNA and amino acyl tRNA synthetases Part g: What chemical and structural characters are shared by the amino acids Ile, Val and Met? Part h: What enzyme attaches Ile to tRNA? Part i: Compare the frequency of the correct Ile entering the active site and the frequency of an incorrect amino acid entering the active site of this enzyme. Be specific with numbers. Part j: Compare the frequency of the correct tRNA(Ile) entering the active site and the frequency of an incorrect tRNA entering the active site of this enzyme. Be specific with numbers. Part k: Apply the Entropy change formula and multiply by T = 303 K (30 C) to determine the energetic cost of accurately attaching Ile to its cognate tRNA(Ile). Part l: Is there enough energy in the chemical transformation of ATP → AMP + 2Pi to pay this information cost?
